The 800-material ship could not often stay in the Daimyo's Mansion, and it was said that it would be transferred, and there were no 10 ships at first, but only 5 ships arrived on the first day, 10 ships on the second day, and then on the third and fourth days, they arrived one after another.

No matter how many ships came, but in front of the labor, these ships were quickly filled, and the production kept up, and in four days, almost no material was put in the warehouse, and they were all loaded onto the ship.

In exchange for a more economical one, it should be as much as it is full, and go as much as it wants, so as not to occupy the port and not to produce waste.

In order to take care of the time of Cao Di and the Daimyo's Mansion, these ships did not depart one after another, and would set off together.

Fortunately, the port is large enough, because of the gradual expansion of the blacksmith workshop, some orders have also begun to appear, especially after the output is amazing, Wang Song also under the suggestion of Zhao Xin, began to expand the port on a large scale, and now the port is enough to stop more than 100 ships of 800 materials, and can also accommodate nearly 400 small ships of various tonnages.

It seemed to be empty and a bit wasteful before, but this time under the gathering of large ships, it seems to be very harmonious.

On the second night of the completion of production, through the efforts of more than 1,000 laborers and 500 temporary laborers, it took 10 hours to complete the final loading, 15 million catties of iron.

There is also a margin of about 5%, which is lost in case of loss, or an error of uneven weights and measures.

Actually, there shouldn't be a need for this, the weights and measures of the Daimyo's Mansion should be the same as those of the Privy Council and Bianliang, but if you have a little more, you can do it.

This is a big expense for the average blacksmith shop, almost 750,000 catties, and for the blacksmith workshop, this is nothing at all.

As long as such a deal is completed, and the subsequent transactions are continuous, none of this is a problem for them

As the person in charge, Cao Di had already sent personnel, and after loading the ship, he carried out a simple inspection and perfected the entire random inspection process, and the results were of course very good.

With the strength of the blacksmith's workshop, if you just make iron, you don't need to do this at all, some unique processing methods, as well as adding catalysts and other methods, still make the quality of iron increase, not to the extent of steel, but much stronger than ordinary iron, in this case, there is no effect at all.

40 800 large ships, slowly set sail, at this time, it is just the time when the wind and water flow cooperate with each other, coupled with advance planning, it is expected that if it goes well, day and night, will arrive in Bianliang within 6 days.

The huge fleet, which stretched for more than several miles, was very brilliant, and in order to welcome Cao Di's review, it was also a lantern and a ceremony of no small scale, and then set sail.

Zhao Xin also reluctantly participated, whether it was the privy deputy envoy or the Hebei pacification envoy, these two positions were worthy of his respect.

Seeing the fleet slowly moving away, it was inevitable to talk about the order of the Daimyo's Mansion, the surplus of more than 3 million catties before, and the production today, almost half of it was completed, and asked Cao Di how to get things over.

The Daimyo's Mansion is only less than 30 miles away from the blacksmith's workshop, and the performance of the official road is also good, so it is used by land.

However, there is not much savings in freight, because it is very simple, the consumption of land is high, and it is very inconvenient.

Even in later generations, the transportation of iron is also a problem, in the era when overloading has become commonplace, a mediocre, just loaded with a bottom semi-trailer, often 100 tons.

The specific gravity of steel is huge, 7.8 tons per cubic meter, 100 tons, and it is only 145 cubic meters.

In this era, a carriage is three to five hundred catties, and it takes a lot to transport 12 million catties.

Fortunately, the distance is not far, and you can go back and forth four or five times a day, and there is not much manpower to call, but it is a little difficult to meet the wind and rain, and it is often very delayed.

Looking at this situation, Zhao Xin couldn't help but want to build a cement road, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Cement, to a considerable extent, is still a strategic material, in the future, when Han Qi arrived in the northwest, large-scale construction of cement forts in key places, the name of cement, will be widely publicized, in this case, cement will inevitably become the focus of research in Western Xia and Liao, a cement road appeared near the Daimyo's mansion, some not.

Zhao Xin still proposed that the Daimyo Mansion and the blacksmith workshop jointly fund the construction of a smooth bluestone road, with bluestone as the main body, with lime and simple cement mortar as a combination to ensure his effect and flatness, so that the cost will rise to a very terrible level, in just 30 miles, it may exceed 800,000 yuan.

Among them, the blacksmith workshop will pay 700,000 kan, and the daimyo will symbolically give 100,000 kan, but the blacksmith workshop will reserve the right to collect tolls.

This is also a helpless thing, in fact, it is not impossible to build roads in vain, but this is a bit eye-catching, and it is common to charge fees, which is not modified on the basis of official roads, but rebuilt.

Part of it is made of steel, some of it is bluestone, and there are special crushers and cutters, which are still a huge project because the cost is lower than before.

Fortunately, the blacksmith workshop came forward to pay the wages with real money, instead of the traditional large-scale projects, which would be faster and would have a good income, and those ordinary people could earn a little money.

This is a trivial matter in Cao Di's opinion, and Cao Di came this time, and officially mentioned it to Zhao Xin to provide the blacksmith workshop and the manpower saved by the purchase of iron materials to the blacksmith workshop.

Zhao Xin was taken aback, and then he was unusually happy, this is a pillow sent when he was sleepy, for now, the manpower of the blacksmith workshop is basically saturated, but it is not that it cannot be accommodated.

In the construction of the navy in the future, the demand for manpower is endless.

The construction of the Dinghai Navy must be mainly reinforced concrete, a small island of only a few hundred square kilometers, to deduct the mountainous areas, and some seaside buildings, which are not suitable for the construction of cities, and the places left for the construction of cities and large-scale industrial zones will be reduced, and it is almost certain that Zhao Xin will take out the buildings.

In ancient China, the reason why there were few buildings was very simple, there were too few giant trees that could support the weight of the entire building, and most of them were used in the construction of large palaces and buildings, and other things could not support the strong weight, which became the reason.

However, the reinforced concrete structure is different, and there is no problem with a seven- or eight-story building, even if you don't have enough understanding of the strength, as long as you make some indicators a little higher according to experience, one times is not good, two times is not good, two times is not good, three times is not good.

In the 80s, the kind of houses built in the countryside and even in the city, and the kind that was built and built, there were no mechanical indicators, and some two-storey, three-storey, and even five- and six-story ones also abounded, and they did not collapse, the reason is very simple, the surplus grain is large, and the load-bearing capacity is strong.

Zhao Xin is not ready to completely popularize the sixth or seventh floor, first start with the third or fourth floor, and then find out the experience in the future, and then open the sixth or seventh floor or even higher.

Just in this way, a building, coupled with a reasonable layout, has made the floor area ratio of the whole city have a huge and incomparable improvement.

Not to mention the large factory, these links, for steel, for manpower requirements are endless, the current Haizhou, the construction of the foundation has begun, from Huainan East Road to the past, there are almost 70,000 laborers, these blacksmiths arrived, as long as they were simply trained, they could work in this blacksmith workshop, those senior, experienced blacksmiths, will immediately

Transferred to the Dinghai Navy, the Daimyo Mansion is destined to be a place to make profits, some technologies that exceed this era, are not suitable for the Daimyo Mansion for the time being, only the Dinghai Navy, is an absolutely safe place.

The provision of this group of people just gave Zhao Xin an opportunity.

Cao Di also came over to say something, I heard that Zhao Xin accepted such a person without hesitation, and he didn't care, a person who can produce a total output of one million yuan, or even more, is no problem to settle these people.

40 large ships of 800 materials, on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, did not cause much waves, such large-scale transportation, between the Daimyofu and Bianliang, similar bulk transportation, is often seen, some of the large-scale dispatch of the forbidden army, water transportation is also the best choice.

However, in Bianliang, this large-scale transportation caused a shock.

Eight hundred miles of urgency, it only takes half a day, you can go back and forth between Bianliang and the Daimyo's Mansion, and some preliminary preparations must be known.

This is 15 million catties of iron, 40 ships of 800 materials, if you don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid the wharf will be blocked, which is a disaster for Bianliang.

Fortunately, with advance preparation and a general understanding of the shipping schedule, you can adjust the wharf in Bianliang, choose a warehouse close to the Privy Council, close it one day in advance, and use it exclusively for unloading.

The wharf of Bianliang is not only the focus of transportation and various bulk transportation, but also many civilian commodities, a million people in Bianliang, the daily consumption is amazing, there is no developed water transportation in Bianhe, how can it be supported, it takes time to adjust a free, enough to accommodate 40 800 large ships.

With such a fast speed, from the time the order was placed to the present, I'm afraid it hasn't been half a month, counting the time on the road, the time delayed by the Daimyo's Mansion, plus the time of this transportation, how fast this production speed should be.

Even if everyone overestimated the yield as much as possible, they couldn't believe that these things were produced in 4 days.

The delivery of 15 million catties so quickly also proved one thing to the government and the opposition, that is, the blacksmith workshop of the daimyo has enough capacity to complete all the orders.
